Desiccant bags

📦 Technical Description – Desiccant Bag
Reliable protection against moisture, condensation and subsequent damage to products during storage and transport

Dry bags are a simple but very effective means of ensuring a dry environment inside packaging. They contain special desiccants, most commonly bentonite, which can bind moisture from the air to themselves and keep the relative humidity inside the packaging low. This prevents condensation on the surface of the products and subsequent damage such as corrosion, oxidation, mould or deterioration of sensitive materials.

Bags are made of dust-free non-woven fabric that allow moisture to pass through to the sorbent inside, while remaining mechanically durable and dust-tight. With a wide range of weights and fillings, the optimum type can be selected by spreadsheet calculation according to the size of the packed area and the level of protection required.

They are used alone or in combination with barrier films and moisture indicators, especially for export and long-term storage of products where they are exposed to fluctuating temperatures and high humidity, typically in sea freight.

🧪 Main Features:

✅ Effectivelyabsorb air moisture – up to 30-50% of their weight
✅ Reduce relative humidity and prevent condensation inside the package
✅ Protect against corrosion, oxidation, mould and degradation of materials
✅ Non-toxic, environmentally friendly options available
✅ Available in different sizes and types according to customer needs
✅ Meets international export standards (DIN 55473 / MIL-D-3464E)

🏭 Typical applications:

🔹 Protection of machinery and metal parts against corrosion during transport
🔹 Packaging of electronics, optical instruments and medical equipment
🔹 Export packaging in combination with ALU barrier films, VCI films ANTICOfol®, VCI paper MULTIferro® and moisture indicators
🔹 Long-term storage of sensitive materials, food or pharmaceuticals
🔹 Military, aerospace and marine equipment exposed to harsh conditions

🎯 Benefits:

✅ Fast, simple and inexpensive moisture protection
✅ Easy application – just insert into the package
✅ Highly effective even in extreme conditions
✅ Long service life depending on environmental humidity
✅ Universal solution for a wide range of products and applications
